The FC Mumu Pro is a brand new, fully-original Famicom flashcart designed by 沐沐 (Mumu) for the Chinese market. Currently, it's only available on Taobao and Xianyu, and costs 388 RMB (57USD). Because it's China-only, there's no English documentation of its capabilities. So this post will...

The RG40XXV screen as seen in this thread (laminated 4" 640x480 with 39-pin ZIF, needs SPI init) is now available directly from Anbernic for $28: https://anbernic.com/products/accessories?variant=47008062898433 Note that there's a limit of 3pcs per order and shipping is $35. Not ideal, but...

Is this a joke? @loopj used an AI-generated banner image in his 2024 contest entry and won second place. I really hope the staff walks this decision back. AI is becoming more and more commonplace in tech hobby spaces (just look at JoypadOS) and a stance like this is just going to result in less...

Incredible work and you're a legend for open sourcing it.

Awesome to see a Wii U portable worklog! While the WUP-50's plugged vias are more difficult to deal with, they're definitely not finicky enough to warrant the ~11W hit of using a WUP-01/30/40. That's two whole Wiis worth of additional heat you have to dissipate, not to mention way more voltage...

nandFlex and caféflex are back in stock! https://flashfi.re/products/nandflex https://flashfi.re/products/cafeflex Non-laminated 3.5" LCDs are also available at wholesale pricing ($8) https://flashfi.re/products/3-5-640x480-ips-lcd-54pin

I was browsing Xianyu, a Chinese secondhand shopping platform, in late March and happened upon some very odd-looking GameCube motherboards after searching for "Nintendo factory board": After some digging, it appears they are graphics processing cards from Japan-exclusive arcade pachinko slot...

Cool project! Here are a few ideas: RGBtoHDMI, which uses a Raspberry Pi Zero + CPLD hat to convert RGBS to HDMI. This would require some kind of DAC, either an integrated one like you mentioned, or a resistor ladder. Also an XNOR sync combiner circuit. Overkill, but very easy and flexible...

I've added some new LCDs to Flashfi.re. Thankfully the tariff situation has calmed down, so I can pass some epic savings on to you guys. 2.4" 800x480 IPS LCD (40pin) - $17 Laminated 3.5" 640x480 IPS LCD (54pin)- $12 4.3" 800x480 IPS LCD (40pin) - $11 5.0" 800x480 IPS LCD (40pin) - $12...

The PS Vita 2000 has the most satisfying and precise D-pad I've ever encountered. It's a single plastic piece, but unlike every other Playstation controller, it doesn't feel stiff. The buttons are clicky, but the actuation is springy, which lets you roll it around smoothly, not unlike a tiny...

Flashfire is open again! I was on hiatus due to a move. But the store is back up and running, with new, lower pricing: Thundervolt Lite -- now $30 Fujiflex - now $30 MelonHD - now $35 Reggie - now $2.50 ...as well as some new products! Bucky is a 3A TPS62A03A buck regulator module in the...

RVL-DD "power user" benefits: Pixel-perfect image on every Wii. No need for the "480p fix", which only works on some AVEs. No AVE revision lottery or smeary high frequency content. It's the sharpest possible image you can get. Automatic image centering and horizontal scaling. With VGA screens...

Who made you the arbiter of what people in other countries do with hardware they bought from public marketplaces? Your abominable reputation precedes you, but I'm still shocked at just how monstrous you really are after seeing it firsthand. Instead of lashing out at random hobbyists in an...

We don't need your permission or anybody else's to swap chips between boards, you clown. Once we purchase boards they are ours to use, modify, or destroy as we please. Stop passive-aggressively threatening Drew and the community with inane legalese bullshit.

SNESpresso is a really cool name! Rolls off the tongue
